Chapter 24 Differences

"This Wuhan civilian is more useful than others."

"They are all civil servants, why are they different?"

Shangguan Tingzhi and Li Yuanxiang were a little puzzled. When they came from Yangzhou, they also met the civilians in Jiangdu. They dared not say that everyone is "sneering and cheating", but their ability to "take fish in troubled waters" is really not inferior to the old fry in the office.

The two of them walked along the embankment, and the usual brocade robe was impossible to wear. Not to mention them, even Zhang De went to the construction site to investigate, they were short-sleeved trousers and leather boots, and at most a bamboo stick was a house.

There are not a single bureaucrat who runs to the construction site to show off with wide robes and big sleeves, but most of them are "airborne" and have always looked at people with nostrils and looked down on the "common people" in Wuhan.

However, contempt is two-way, and they are all "status" people. In Wuhan, I am afraid that you will be a family.

Beep-

A long and rapid whistle sounded, and the supervisor rode a donkey and kept choosing bad things. The construction sites in the contracted area divided by various flags and ropes began to change shifts one after another. In addition to men, there were many women. Men can be used as livestock, but women can't be used as men. It's not that they say "gentlemanly", but that they are not efficient.

The specially divided women's contracted areas are mostly Japanese women, Qiang women, Liang women, and Fuyu women in the workshop... Wuhan does not encourage slavery. Of course, Wuhan official and business groups encourage slavery overseas. The butt determines the head and economic returns determines the production structure. No matter how hard Lao Zhang doesn't like it, he can't stop it.

The reason why these female slave workers work is because they are recruited as "civilians" who work, and according to the amount of labor, the "slave period" can be shortened in proportion.

Yes, the "slave family" in Wuhan is time-sensitive, which is completely different from the "slave family" among the aristocratic families who have been passed down from generation to generation.

This also has nothing to do with the conscience of Wuhan Merchant Group. It is quite unreliable for businessmen to be conscientious and social responsibilities. Just because they are considering "increasing population" and "labor enthusiasm", another thing is that "slaves" are assets and personal property. How many businessmen will not maintain their private property properly?

But as long as it is property, except for precious metals, it is "depreciated" without exception, unless it is added with special packaging, such as humanism, historical sentiment, etc. It is not difficult to see that as property, a "slave" has a golden service period of ten years, that is, ten years, and women's "slave" was in the Zhenguan Dynasty.

So this is a calculation. Once a certain "shelf life" is exceeded, it will not be very cost-effective if the property continues to be "maintenance".

In Wuhan, the descendants of "slaves" are not "slaves" to their masters, which means that there is no need to think about the long-term rewards. Merchants do not have the qualifications to compete for this "right", although they really want to, and have played tricks with Lao Zhang several times.

Zhang De's reaction was very rough, and he directly sent more than a dozen giants who thought they were "full wings" to destroy their families and searched their families. The whole clan all included a few strokes and gave them to Li Daoxing.

At this point, merchants in Wuhan thought they had touched the bottom line of observation, but of course the cost was a bit high.

After the basis of "slave storage" does not exist, merchants will naturally choose to maximize their interests. "slave" still needs to be used, but after the ten-year use period is over, they will quickly pat their butts and leave.

If this "slave" changes from property to "people" and wants to continue working in the workshop, the situation will change drastically.

First, all the food and housing that were originally provided as private property had to be paid for; second, labor was also exchanged for fruits, but when it was property, the "slaves" had no personal freedom or economic burden, and the "people" had personal freedom but economic burden.

Most people who "deprived of their ancestry" often have to borrow money to live on the moment they "deprived of their ancestry". The object of debt is often the former "master".

So what made Lao Zhang sighed was that for ten years, those who were truly willing to "get out of their posts" were almost equal to those who were willing to continue to be "slaves".

On the entire women's freezer area, almost all the women who come to work are people with some ideas, which can be said to be quite commendable.

"My teacher, I just told me whether the civil servants and husbands are suitable for use. I think the civil servants in Wuhan are really better than those in Huaiyang. Why is this?"

Shangguan Tingzhi and Li Yuanxiang caught up with Zhang De who was inspecting the construction site and looked at Zhang De curiously with a little panting.

"Oh? What is the difference between you two people in Wuhan and Huaiyang?"

Looking at the two of them interestingly, Lao Zhang was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the two young men would have such observation skills, which was quite good.

"The achievements of one person in one day are equal to those of three Huaiyang people."

"Wuhan civil servants only care about work. If Huaiyang civil servants are tired, they will have to hide from things secretly. If the supervisor is good, they will have to join forces to disobey. In short, the same supervisor, the construction site in Wuhan will be much easier."

After hearing the two of them, Lao Zhang nodded repeatedly, holding bamboo sticks in both hands, and looking at the vast number of figures on the construction site: "All the words are right, but they are all appearances. I just said a 'secret of not being passed on' that the outside world decided not to know. This is a unique skill in Wuhan. If you become an official in the future, you can consider using it."

When the two heard this, they actually wanted to "transmit their skills". They immediately held their breath and were waiting for Lao Zhang to give them a "initiation". You learn to fly a knife and I learn to learn to swords...

"After all, it's just one."

Lao Zhang raised a finger and said, "The people in Huaiyang are mostly farmers. The people in Wuhan... Where are the people in? They are also considered people?"

“…”

The two were stunned, and Shangguan Tingzhi blinked: It's gone? It's gone? What about the unique skills that were agreed upon?

But Li Yuanxiang next to Shangguan Tingzhi was thinking about whether he was from an imperial family and his grade was a little worse, but he was also a "high-ranking person". He was also "influenced by the emperor" when he was a child, and his weight was still as high as Shangguan Tingzhi.

In an instant, the "Young Master Xunhuan" was in a state of great emotion. He knew that "those who have constant property have perseverance", but he never expected that "there is no constant property with perseverance."

I vaguely felt a little, but I couldn't see through it even if I had such a little feeling.

His Highness Jiang made up his mind and went to study hard with Zhang De when he found an opportunity. If he could be "solved", even if he was a free prince in the future, he would not have had a hard time.

"What? I don't understand what I said?"

Old Zhang laughed and patted the two young men on the shoulders, "I will understand sooner or later, and don't rush for a moment."

"yes."

The two of them honestly carried out a gift, and then looked at the shift site. All the workers who were working went to the designated area to have a meal, but they were not in a mess. Although they were all going to each other, they immediately lined up in a regular manner when they arrived at the foot of the site.

Soon, the aroma of rice wafted on the construction site. Unlike most "power-handed" construction sites that bring their own dry food, Wuhan's construction sites have a huge selling point, that is, there is never a shortage of meat, and there will be a sweet braised pork meal every "Saturday". The fat meat is very big and shiny. Li Yuanxiang and others will definitely feel tired of it at a glance, but for the "civilians", this is simply a top-notch delicacy tailored.

"After all, there are too many people, it's so good."

Lao Zhang sighed with emotion. When there were only 300,000 or 500,000 people on hand, he did not dare to play so big, but he had more than one million people on hand, so he could play whatever he wanted.

A "market" can be seen at an exit of "Han Yuechi Road" not far away. The "market" does not have a city wall fence, but a temporary shed connected into a piece of natural "city wall". The scale of the entire "market" is larger than that of any Wuhan headquarters. It is not a "city" in the general sense.

From the beginning, Lao Zhang built it according to a county, but it was not organized at hand, so he could only build a county first, pointing to it and saying that it was a "city".

When the brothers from other places looked at the land, they all said, "It's big to take out the women's clothing boss." If this is a "city", I will follow the Anbei Protectorate's Mansion and run naked!

"I have to give it a name, or I'd better call it Xianning."
